Android Alarm Problem

I can't seem to get the alarm to work right on my phones. I had the mytouch 3g and now i have the nexus one. They never consistently work. I've tried searching but all the solutions i seem to find are to either download a different alarm and exclude it from whatever task killer app you have.
Is the alarm a different process than the clock app? because for the last 3 nights i have gone to bed with the phone plugged in and the clock app running and the alarm has only worked once. The clock app displays the next scheduled alarm, but this morning my alarm was supposed to go off at 7:50am but never did. I woke up at 8:30 and the clock app still said that an alarm was scheduled for wednesday(today) at 7:50am.
Any suggestions?

Hourly alarm

Is there any application that will trigger alarm on hourly basis?
I have found some application that will trigger sound every hour, but often i don't notice that sound, so i want actual alarm or something similar.

Try "Bellman" on the market. Can chime hourly, every half hour, or every 15 minutes.
Also, try "HourlyChime."

I don't want chime. I want alarm that will ring for some time.

I know that Alarm Clock Plus offers an hourly alarm but I have not tested it.

I'd like to know why my Nexus One when it crashes it always starts on Jan 1st 1980...

Tested Alarm Clock Plus, but only thing i was able to found was nap feature, which will trigger alarm after X minutes. But that means that i will have to set it manually each hour.

In Alarm Clock Plus try Menu, Settings, Hourly Chime Settings.
Hope that helps!

alarm countdown

Does anyone know if I can turn on this old feature of android? In Jellybean, once I set an alarm, there is a notice that gives me the countdown before the alarm goes off (eg, Alarm set for ...minutes from now"). I found this useful since it saved me a few times from setting up the wrong time. This seems to be missing in the lollipop version of s6. Any idea how I can enable the function?

Not sure about the stock alarm but I use Timely and it does when you toggle it.

ok, will give the app a trial. Is the alarm reliable? My experience with other alarm apps is sometime the alarm doesn't go off. Thanks for your input

Very! I have been using it for over a year. I actually purchased it before Google bought the company and made it free!

Looking for Alarm app that allows overriding next day's set alarm

Hi guys
Does any of you know about an app that would allow me to do the thing described in the title? To give an example:
Let's say I have a periodic alarm set from Monday to Friday set for 8am. On Wednesday evening however I decide that I would like to be woken up on Thursday not at 8am, but at 9am. Normally I would have to disable alarm on Thursday and set new alarm and then on Thursday turn on first alarm again. Or change the hour of alarm, but the next day I would have to change it back again and I might forget about it. What I would like is to have an option to override the thursday's alarm hour but only on next day. After that I would like for it to automatically go back to previous setting.
Any help appreciated.

Alarm clock plus - option to "skip next occurrence". Still the best alarm, shame it's not still developed.

Thanks a lot Josh!
Looks like exactly what I was looking for.
